Welcome to my Guide to quick text shortcuts! (Ios) (If any of you can do a similar thing on android let me know!)As many of you know STS has kindly put in quick text boxes into the game:
It's in the top left corner as indicated in red (If it's not there go to options, Display on HUD)

And you get 4 of them:

However a lot of times 4 just doesn't cut it! You have many items to sell, cool things to say, and epic designs to show off!
So as I was going through my iPod a while back I figured out how to create a shortcut. This allows me to have everything I need to say quickly and accurately! Let me show you how to do it!

Go into settings (Thanks red for epic background)

Click on general

Scroll down then select keyboard

Now you can click on make a shortcut:

Your phrase is what you want to say and your shortcut is what you type in to trigger that phrase to pop up
This is just an example:

This is what happens when you type in a trigger word:

This is just a guide I wanted to do to inform players on the wonders of shortcuts! These come in really handy and are very effective. Have fun!!!
